How Cinnamon-Flavored
Surface Forms
Morphology
The meaning 'bread flavored with cinnamon' is directly and compositionally derived from combining 'cinnamon' (a spice) with 'bread' (a baked food). This flavour‑modifier pattern (spice + food) is cross‑linguistically common, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily infer the meaning.
Etymology
Cinnamon bread is simply bread made with the spice cinnamon, often with sugar or raisins so the loaf smells warm and sweet. So, the name means a 'sweet, cinnamon-flavored loaf'.
